in 2017. She works at the largest VA hospital in the state, found a nice nearby apt. complex within minutes to work. She had her rent balloon suddenly in the complex where she lives, went from 1700-2300 a month. It would be more for a new renter. Florida wages suck and haven't kept up with what she was making here in the North. Her mother lives nearby, and she has become her daily caregiver, she is not allowed to move into the 55+ complex.
